Cinsault
Cinsault is one of those grape varieties that simply must be in your glass, even if it often stands in the shadow of more famous counterparts. Its delicate elegance is evident in its bright, ruby-red color and an alluring aroma of red berries like strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by floral notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, it impresses with silky tannins and a vibrant freshness – a red wine that combines lightness and character.
Its home is in sunny southern France , particularly in Languedoc and Provence, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It also plays a significant role in South Africa and North Africa. At Vinoscout, you'll discover 11 carefully selected Cinsault wines – from approachable everyday wines starting at €6.20 to special bottles for more sophisticated occasions.

Cinsault – light, fresh, and unmistakably Southern French
Cinsault is one of the most charming grape varieties in the Mediterranean region. The grape produces wines characterized by their lightness, lively acidity, and fruity freshness – without appearing intrusive or heavy. Typical are delicate red fruits, a pleasant spice, and a dry, elegant finish. It is no wonder that Cinsault shines above all in rosé.
At home in Provence
The variety is firmly rooted in Southern France, where it has been cultivated for centuries. In Provence, Cinsault is a classic component of the famous rosé wines – often in cuvées with Grenache or Syrah, sometimes also vinified as a single variety. The warm climate and the barren soils of the region give the wine its characteristic freshness and minerality.
